EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Autumn, 1754" by Thomas Major, we are transported back to the rural British countryside of the 18th century. The scene depicts hunters returning from their successful expedition, proudly showcasing their catch of the day. A group of boys eagerly gather around them, fascinated by the bountiful harvest. Amidst this lively atmosphere, an old man stands out with a barrel of grapes strapped to his back. Symbolizing abundance and prosperity, he represents the fruitful rewards that autumn brings. As evening sets in, casting long shadows across the landscape, it becomes apparent that time is of essence for these hunters. Major's meticulous engraving technique beautifully captures every detail - from the rustic weaponry carried by these men to their weathered faces reflecting years spent in pursuit of sustenance. This artwork not only celebrates rural life but also serves as a metaphor for survival during times marked by war and conflict. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to this piece while emphasizing its historical significance. Preserved through centuries, this print now finds itself in The Print Collector collection where it continues to tell stories about agriculture, regionalism and hunting practices of Britain's past.
